Bolangir is one of the poorest districts in Odisha. This story has been sent to Vedanta Khushi by Sharad Pattanayak a social worker who works in Bolangir.
This is a story that begins with a visit to one of the far-flung villages in Chattisgarh. This family is one of the typical migrating families who travel from one place to another for want of work.
It was raining heavily in Ahmedabad and returning from office I was very hungry. The nearby shop of hot samosas and pakodas tempted me to buy some. I parked my two-wheeler and went to the shop which is one of the most famous sweets shops of Ahmedabad and so was very crowded. While I was waiting for my order, a small poor little child came near me and started pulling my shirt.
